About us

We produce pork, bacon, ham and sausages in our own butchery from pigs bred and reared on our farm in the beautiful Moss Valley in North East Derbyshire. The family has lived and farmed here for a hundred years in farm buildings dating from the 9th, 14th and 16th centuries.

Our pork is bred for taste, tenderness and succulence, a characteristic of the Duroc breed that we use, which has enhanced “marbling" within the meat. The pigs are taken by ourselves to a local abattoir, which minimises stress and enhances meat quality. As we only use our own pigs, we provide complete traceability of our products.

We take great care to maintain the high health status of our herd, and we do not need to routinely treat any animals with antibiotics, nor are any growth promoters used.

The whole farm is assured under the Genesis Farm Assurance scheme, which audits the pigs and the crops annually, and requires veterinary inspections every three months alongside rigorous standards for food safety and animal welfare. All our pigs are fed on the highest quality diets based on cereals and soya protein, some of which we grow and mill ourselves.

We strive to reduce the carbon footprint of our business, and the farm now has an 85Kw and a 15Kw wind turbines to complement its straw burner (which is carbon neutral) and water bore hole as well as 4KW of solar PV. We are committed to seeking effective ways in which we can further reduce the environmental impact of our business. We are happy to accommodate all sizes of order. If you have a freezer – why not save your fuel and help the environment by ordering several weeks' supply. (All our products can be frozen). We will advise you by telephone or e-mail when your order is ready for collection. Payment can be made by either cash or cheque on receipt of goods.
